A Note from the Principal
At the end of each quarter, we would like to get feedback from the families of current students so that we can continue to grow and improve. To fill out the survey, please click here.
A Note from the School Nurse
Students are not allowed to carry ANY medication them without physician permission, parent/guardian permission, and school permission to self-administer and self-monitor (SC Law S144). This includes over-the-counter pain relievers and allergy and cold medications. Over-the-counter medications can be stored in the nurse's office with parent permission (physician permission is not needed). The ONLY medications that can be in the student’s possession (with the physican permission) are for asthma, diabetes, and severe allergic reactions. If you need a medication permission form or have any questions please contact Nurse Dava at [email protected] for the form.
A Note from the Front Office
If your student is absent please submit a parent note or a doctor's note within 3 days of your child returning to school. Please send all school excuses to Michelle Tennant at mtennant@labcharterschool.org.
If you are bringing your student to school late, 8:15 or later, you must walk in with them and sign them in.
A Note from the Development Director
We have kicked off our Annual Fundraising Campaign!! Please consider giving to our Annual Campaign! No gift is too small (or too big!). These funds provide flexible support to help bridge the gap between the limited public funding we receive and the cost of providing the distinctive education that makes Lakes & Bridges such a unique place for our students, families, teachers, and staff. You may give online here, you may give by a check made out to Lakes and Bridges Charter School with "Annual Campaign" in the memo line, you may give by cash in an envelope with your name and "Annual Campaign" on it and given to the front office, or you may even contact Debbie Vaughn ( [email protected]) to transfer a gift of stock.
Thank you for supporting our student innovators and those who serve them!
A Note from the PTA
If you or someone you know would like be a corporate sponsor for our Lakes and Bridges PTA, please click here.
A Note from the Student Wellness Coordinator
The SEL word of the week is: Collaborate (v.) to work with others to achieve a purpose
Competency: Relationship Skills
In SEL this week, we will wrap up our lessons on bullying prevention. Students will collaborate to determine the best way to handle certain situations that involve bullying. By role-playing and talking through scenarios, students are better prepared to navigate situations when they occur.
A Note from the Student Council
Student Council Elections
Student Council Elections will take place on Monday, November 4th! We are so proud of the campaigning the students have done so far and can't wait to see what happens!
Veterans DropIn Breakfast
On Monday, November 11, the Student Council and Jr. Interact Club will be hosting a drop-in breakfast for our Veterans from 8-10 am. Please share this information with any veterans you know!
